ASCII Charcters dropping in imported EPS file

Yeah, it can be problematical depending on how the original eps was saved - binary or ascii. Sometimes you also run into cross platform problems if the file was created in an OS different from yours.
Couple of things to try: Open in Illustrator and see how it looks. If ok save as eps with fonts embedded and try that. Save as ai and just use that. Or save as pdf and use that.
You can also try just making a pdf from the eps and see how it looks.
If you open in AI and the fonts are editable you can simple select the text and export that. Just use Text as the export format adn choose yur options in the subsequent window.
